If you can't remember the last time you really looked forward to going to work - and you're looking for a role that offers more opportunities and challenges - look no further than Central Bedfordshire Council.  Join us and you'll play a key role in driving positive change, accelerating the pace at which this happens and enabling us to realise our ambitions. 

It's important that you're keen to take on more autonomy, responsibility and professional challenge.  In return, we offer excellent benefits, including final salary pension scheme, relocation assistance, car loan scheme, discounted employee restaurant and workplace nursery.

Supporting the strategic development of our risk management processes, you will see that these underpin everything we do - it will be up to you to review the effectiveness of our strategy in this area, identify the relevant issues and communicate them to services and directorates.

In this way, you will play a key role in ensuring continuous improvement across our organisation.  Persuasive, influential and a skilled negotiator, you must have a relevant qualification and risk management experience, including experience of insurance and business continuity.

Closing date: 10 April 2009.   Interview dates: 27 or 29 April 2009.
